I am encountering issues with the workers in parsim when using the Rapid Accelerator mode.
After upgrading from R2024a to R2024b one week ago, I noticed that running parsim simulations no longer works as expected. I aim to run 6 simulations on a system with 6 physical (P) cores, allowing Matlab to compute all simulations simultaneously. However, only one worker completes the simulation, while the remaining five remain stuck in the "Running" state.
I tested this behavior with 6 identical models, but the issue persisted. Uninstalling and reinstalling Matlab did not do the trick.
Another observation is related to CPU behavior. When the parsim simulation starts, my laptop’s fan runs intensively, and some CPU cores reach 100% utilization—this is expected and matches the behavior in R2024a. However, as soon as the first worker completes its simulation, the fan slows down, and CPU utilization becomes erratic. The CPU usage fluctuates significantly, jumping between 20% and 90%.
Additionally, if I stop the parsim simulation via the Simulation Manager, Matlab becomes stuck at the "Cleaning up parallel worker" stage for the workers that were stuck during the simulation.
Interestingly, when switching from Rapid Accelerator to Accelerator mode, the parsim simulations work correctly, and some CPU cores consistently run at 100% utilization.
